A's vs. GIANTS to open 2007 season

http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/schedule/index.jsp#20070401

I don't know how to do HTML, so here is the link.  I'm guessing that MLB is praying for a Zito vs. A's game right off the bat.  But, I can't remember Oakland playing in the first game of the year, can you?  Sorry this is short, I just couldn't beleive what I saw.

Spring training
That I think is the last ST game

well
What do I know then?

yeah
they always have an A's vs. giants exhibition series the weekend before the season starts.

well I have to ask
Why did MLB put it on the damn schedule and get me all stupified?  Oh well.

But
what I'm saying is, why is this the only spring training game on that particular schedule, and there isn't a single other one on it?  Doesn't make sense.

It IS the only ST game that day
26 ML teams play their opener on Monday 4/2, and 25 of them are taking 4/1 off.  Cards-Mets is the ESPN opener on 4/1 and SD-SF is on 4/3.  The A's and Giants play the only ML exhibition game that day.  I suppose it's possible that a few teams are playing their AAA or AA teams on 4/1, but those games don't appear on the ST schedule.

yup
Additionally, the A's-Giants game is being played in the Bay, not in Arizona...

Slight correction
A's-Rivercats and a few other appear on the ST schedule.  So yeah, the A's are the only team playing an exhibition game on Sunday and then their opener on Monday.

I went to that game last year
I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it.

Hit previous 3 days

Actually the A's Northern California ST opener is
an exhibition in Sacramento against the River Cats on March 29 and then they go to the Bay to play the Giants in a weekend exhibition series. Shh, don't tell too many Sacramentans because I want to be able to get tickets.....
